This paper is concerned with an experimental investigation of the mixing inside the vortex ring formed by the gravity slumping
motion of a dense cloud in a less dense atmosphere. The dynamics of the spreading and instantaneous structures of the turbulent
flow were examined by visualization, single and multi-point measurements of velocity and concentration for two heavy gases,
carbondioxide (CO2) and dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2), in a configuration in that heavy gas, initially trapped in a reservoir, was released with the rise of a shutter into calm
air of a sector-shaped dispersion channel.
Visualization of the cloud as a whole showed a spreading motion in which an advancing frontal structure was followed by a
stratified flow with a layer of dense fluid of higher velocities near the wall and, on top of it, a layer of dilute fluid
whose concentration is controlled by the mixing mechanisms within the head. During the course of spreading, there was always
a phase in which the head attained to a constant speed of advance, which occurred as 0.13 m/s for CO2 and 0.48 m/s for CCl2F2. It was interesting to observe for CO2 that the phase of constant speed took place in between two acceleration phases; the former was due to the initial slumping
of the cloud at the exit of the reservoir, and the latter was attributed to the collapse of the head on the transition to
the passive dispersion phase.
Instantaneous two-dimensional velocity field, measured with particle image velocimeter (PIV), showed that the cloud overran
the ambient air which caused the approaching dense fluid deflected away from the wall with significant vertical velocities
and downstream-moving separation, and the air trapped under the head resulted in the density inversion which introduced further
intricacy to the turbulent structure of the head. Instabilities at the upper free shear layer due to density and velocity
discontinuity rolled into periodic array of vortices which engulfed a considerable amount of air as they were convected backwards
over the head, but the incorporation of heavy and light fluids was completed with the appearance of microscales after the
collapse on the stratified layer. Analyses of the cloud head at different downstream locations also revealed that its size
remained unchanged when the speed of advance was constant, allowing the rate of change of the cloud volume being modeled with
the rate of spreading.
Contours of concentration obtained from digitized PIV pictures confirmed the kinematic features of the mixing revealed by
the velocity field and that the concentration values within the large structures were higher than those at the upper part
of the stratified layer. Motivated by the experimental observations, a semi-empirical analysis was presented to describe the
results and based on local values of the Richardson and Reynolds numbers.

A rapid, sensitive, and specific reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection procedure for the simultaneous determination of abacavir, efavirenz and valganciclovir in spiked human serum is described. Separation was performed on a 5 μm Waters Spherisorb column (250 × 4.6 mm ID) with acetonitrile: methanol:KH2PO4 (at pH 5.00) (40:20:40 v/v/v) isocratic elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL min−1. Calibration curves were constructed in the range of 50–30,000 ng mL−1 for abacavir and efavirenz, and 10–30,000 ngmL−1 for valganciclovir in serum samples. The limit of detection and limit of quantification concentrations of the HPLC method were 3.80 and 12.68 ng mL−1 for abacavir, 2.61 and 8.69 ng mL−1 for efavirenz, 1.30 and 4.32 ng mL−1 for valganciclovir. The method has been applied, without any interference from excipients or endogenous substances, for the simultaneous determination of these three compounds in human serum.
Ascorbic acid is the most common electroactive biological compound found in some plant species (e.g., Citrus species, Rosa species). The electrochemical oxidation of ascorbic acid was investigated by cyclic, linear sweep, differential pulse (DPV),
and square wave (SWV) voltammetry. For analytical purposes, a very well-resolved diffusion-controlled voltammetric peak was
obtained in acetate buffer at pH 3.50 for DPV and SWV. The linear response was obtained in the range of 3.52–176.1 μg/mL with
a detection limit of 0.88 μg/mL for DPV and 0.52 μg/mL for SWV. Based on this study, simple, rapid, selective, and sensitive
voltammetric methods were developed for the determination of ascorbic acid in pharmaceutical dosage forms and Rosa species (R. dumalis ssp. boissieri var. boissieri, R. canina, R. pulverulenta, R. heckeliana ssp. vanheurckiana, and R. montana subsp. woronowii). The results obtained are compared with the HPLC data. The developed methods enable the extracts to be analyzed without
the necessity of any time-consuming separation.

In order to investigate of cobalt-doped interracial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) layer and interface trap (Dit) effects, A1/p- Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) are fabricated, and their electrical and dielectric properties are investigated at room temperature. The forward and reverse admittance measurements are carded out in the frequency and voltage ranges of 30 kHz-300 kHz and -5 V-6 V, respectively. C-V or er-V plots exhibit two distinct peaks corresponding to inversion and accumulation regions. The first peak is attributed to the existence of Dit, the other to the series resistance (Rs), and interfacial layer. Both the real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant (er and err) and electric modulus (Mr and Mrr), loss tangent (tan~), and AC electrical conductivity (aac) are investigated, each as a function of frequency and applied bias voltage. Each of the M~ versus V and Mrr versus V plots shows a peak and the magnitude of peak increases with the increasing of frequency. Especially due to the Dit and interfacial PVA layer, both capacitance (C) and conductance (G/w) values are strongly affected, which consequently contributes to deviation from both the electrical and dielectric properties of A1/Co-doped PVA/p-Si (MPS) type SBD. In addition, the voltage-dependent profile of Dit is obtained from the low-high frequency capacitance (CLF-CHF) method. 相似文献
Functionalized bis(amino)phosphines of the type PhP(NHR)2 (1a–c) and aminophosphines of the type Ph2PNHR (2a–c) have been synthesized by treating PhPCl2 or Ph2PCl with corresponding primary amines of H2N-R where R = -CH2SO3H, -C6H4SO3H, and benzo-15-crown-5. The molybdenum(0) complex of the aminophosphine (3) has been obtained by reacting cis-[Mo(CO)4(bipy)] with aminophosphine (2c). The synthesized aminophosphines, bis(amino)phosphines, and the molybdenum(0) complex have been characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and MS spectroscopic techniques and by elemental analysis. 相似文献
A RP-LC method is presented, which is sensitive and selective for the simultaneous determination of enalapril–lercanidipine and enalapril–nitrendipine binary mixtures in their pharmaceutical dosage forms. The analyte peaks were detected using the LC method with the mobile phase ratio of methanol: water (70:30 v/v, pH 3.0) and a 1.0 mL min−1 flow rate. The detection wavelength was selected at 210 nm using photo diode array detector and column temperature was optimized to 30 °C. Linearity was obtained at different concentration ranges for all working pharmaceutically active compounds between 0.5 and 25 μg mL−1. The proposed methods were extensively validated according to USP 27 requirements and ICH guidelines. The methods were applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical dosage forms containing binary mixtures of enalapril–lercanidipine and enalapril–nitrendipine. Moreover, the proposed methods were applied for the degradation studies of the selected compounds. Degradation studies were conducted using stress conditions such as UV light, acidic and alkaline hydrolysis, oxidation and heat in oven, to evaluate the ability of the separation of the response of standard compounds from their degradation products.
This study developed a nanosensor for the detection and determination of favipiravir, a presumed drug that has potential therapeutic efficacy in treating COVID-19 patients, from tablets and serum samples. This nanosensor was obtained by adding the optimum amount of diamond nanoparticles into carbon paste. For the determination of favipiravir adsorptive stripping differential pulse (AdSDPV) and adsorptive stripping square wave voltammetry (AdSSWV) were used. Limit of detection values were found as 4.83×10−9 M and 2.44×10−7 M for bulk and 5.18×10−8 M and 4.38×10−8 M for serum samples using AdSDPV and AdSSWV, respectively. Recovery studies made of the tablet and serum produced satisfactory results. 相似文献
This paper demonstrates a Schiff base i. e. 5-(diethylamino)-2-((2,6-diethylphenylimino)methyl)phenol (5-DDMP) that was sensed by DNA biosensor. dsDNA was immobilized onto GCE modified with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes to prepare a biosensor. The efficiency of dsDNA biosensor was determined and binding of 5-DDMP with dsDNA was searched by UV-vis spectrophotometry and differential pulse voltammetry. Molecular docking simulations between 5-DDMP and dsDNA were explored and as a result, a hydrogen bond and a π-π contact were observed between 5-DDMP and deoxyguanosine base (dG22) of the strand B, deoxyadenosine base (dA5) of the strand A, respectively. These studies could be useful for new anticancer drug design and development. 相似文献
Ziprasidone is a psychotropic agent used for the treatment of schizophrenia. Its oxidation was investigated electrochemically at boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes using cyclic, differential pulse, and square wave voltammetry. The dependence of the peak current and peak potentials on pH, concentration, nature of the buffer, and scan rate were examined. The process was diffusion and adsorption controlled for boron-doped diamond and glassy carbon electrodes, respectively. The possible mechanism of oxidation was discussed with some model compounds that have indole and piperazine oxidations. A linear response was obtained between 8 × 10−7 and 8 × 10−5 M for the first peak in acetate buffer (pH 5.5) and between 2 × 10−6 and 2 × 10−4 M for the second peak in 0.1 M H2SO4 with boron-doped diamond electrode for differential pulse and square wave voltammetric techniques. The reproducibility and accuracy of the proposed methods were found between 0.31 and 1.20, 99.27 and 100.22, respectively. The recovery studies were also achieved to check selectivity and accuracy of the methods. The proposed methods were applied for the determination of ziprasidone from pharmaceutical dosage forms and human serum samples without any time-consuming extraction, separation, evaporation or adsorption steps prior to drug assay except precipitation of the proteins using acetonitrile. The results were statistically compared with those obtained through an established LC-UV technique, no significant differences were been found between the voltammetric and LC methods. 相似文献
